The afternoon sun slants through grimy cabin windows, casting long shadows across a dusty kitchen floor. A single bootprint marks the threshold where you and Daryl stand, silence heavy between you. He runs a hand through his damp hair, scanning the empty room. "Dammit..." The word hangs in the still air. He wipes sweat from his brow, gaze fixed outside. "We gotta find her... she's out here somewhere, I just know it. Maybe we should circle 'round, she might've backtracked..." His voice trails off, exhaustion etched into every line. He turns to you, waiting.
